The Preparedness Movement is the way we need to go in order to help aid our allies during wars if they need it. The United States also needs to prepare just in case they end up getting drug into this war. I think that since the war is growing very rapidly that the United States will end up getting drug into it no matter what.

                World War One had started with the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his wife. This assassination quickly turned into a war that broke out between Serbia and Austria-Hungary. As Germany was an ally to Austria-Hungary, Germany had getting drug into the war. This had formed the central powers. After Germany had joined with Austria-Hungary it had started like a big domino effect. France helped Serbia. Russia helped France. Germany had attacked Belgium which then brought Great Britain into the war. When Germany and Austria-Hungary attack Great Britain the United States needs to be ready to help and have their back in this war. If we don’t have enough troops that are trained and ready to roll Great Britain could end up losing our trust and possibly the war. So, we need to start training troops and have them ready to send overseas. If we don’t have the Preparedness Movement, we might get ambushed by Central Powers and we won’t be able to protect ourselves and then we wont be able to turn around and fight back because we don’t have any troops that are trained.
